It's a tough one!

This was my 20th marathon and maybe my toughest one yet. I obviously checked out the elevation chart prior to the race and thought other than the big hill at mile 22/23, the rest of the course was fairly level&it's not. This is one tough course! The first half had more hills than I was expecting. The crowd support for the first half was good, but not great. Miles 14 through 21 are a lot of running on trails, with little or no crowd support, so it starts getting lonely. Then of course comes THE HILL at around mile 22/23& makes Heartbreak Hill look like a bunny hill! I thought I was ready for it, but it was brutal. Once you get to the top of THE HILL, the last 3 miles were great. San Diego is such a great town, with so many great little neighborhoods. I think if they would incorporate more of the neighborhoods into the course, they could design a much better course, which would also lead to better crowd support.

Tarus Ready for Rock 'n' Roll Race

It appears that Philip Tarus was told he must run the Boston Marathon to be eligible to defend his crown at the Rock n Roll marathon. So, the question is whether his relatively slow, 16th place finish in Boston was the result of a poor day, or his desire to save himself for the RNR race.
